Select Board approves town manager contract covering 2026–2029
Summary
After an executive‑session negotiation, the Select Board unanimously approved the town manager James Feeney's contract for 2026–2029 following a public reconvening; the vote was 5–0.
Following a closed executive session to conduct strategy and contract negotiations for non‑union personnel, the Select Board returned to open session and moved to approve the town manager contract as negotiated by the board subcommittee for 2026–2029. Select Board member Diane Mahan made the motion and the board approved the contract by unanimous voice vote (5–0).
The executive session was held under Massachusetts General Laws dealing with collective bargaining and strategy for non‑union personnel; the board recorded a roll‑call vote to enter and then later took the public approval in open session. The town manager did not speak on the contract following the vote. The board said it intends to continue to work on administrative follow‑up and contract implementation details as required.
